• 5 Dec 2023 in Senate: really advocates for, I want to hear him proceeding further and questioning every single decision, so that when the Lord decides to call us and we all go, someone will sit there and say, ‘yes, he did this and that.’ Otherwise, we will not be remembered. I thank you. view

• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is an important Bill and I will demonstrate why. In most cases, we discuss Bills, but do not demystify the importance of the Bills. Sometimes we develop legislation with a lobbying interest behind it; people who have seen an avenue to make money. Most of our legislations have an element of money making. This is the first Bill that I have gone through and seen that the controller who is being appointed by the President, is not funded through levies. I do hope that we can continue developing legislation in that frame of thought. ... view

• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: One of my biggest pet peeves is when you see legislation that forms boards that are given powers to set up regulations. When they do, they propose levies to fund the board. I wanted to begin there before I get into the merits and demerits of this Bill. Today, Kenyans are bleeding. Every piece of legislation has an element of fees; there is the KEBS and all these other authorities. This is the first Bill that will be funded directly by the Exchequer, which is progressive. This Bill has introduced an element that most Bills are forgetting. Yesterday, I raised ... view

• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: Instead of saying that, at the end of the year, they will produce a report to show the safety standard, they need to ensure safety before any food leaves a particular area. This is why I keep on reiterating that the moment we organise ourselves as cooperatives to produce food; it is the moment we start consuming food that is fit for human consumption. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Object of this Bill is to protect human life and health. It is quite clear and I like it. If you are protecting human life and health, should we then not empower ... view

• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: However, there is no good water for human consumption. Where the people fetch water is sort of like hole where wild animals come in to drink water and pee in. One of the many common diseases in that area is cancer which is very dangerous. The role the county governments is given in this Bill is critical. I urge the Cabinet Secretary when developing regulations on implementation of this Bill to enhance the critical role of county governments as envisaged in this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is also important to ensure there is a traceability element in our animal ... view
